I like the kid thats singing, but the song....:dknow: its definitely better than the other ballads.... oh wait, it picked up :D .... ok, i kinda like it now.... definatelly better than most ...still not my fav thing though - I always prefer the ethno / shake bootie types :gigi:

ok, I run now, please post here who will go through to the final :rose:

ciaooooo

Danish guy has fun on stage and it's a big plus.

funnily enough, the Danish song doesn't sound half bad for what it is.

Poland has a gipsy dance. It's sung in Russian and it sticks out. It's going to score. There are absolutely no faults in the performance. I think it may quialify too. I'm almost sure of it.

ok, I'm voting for Slovenia and Moldova. Forre? Swiss?

Of course! I never vote politically or tactically. I think it was the best act along with Norway and Poland.

Just the performance and the shirt pulling from Poland, not the song though.
I wouldn't call it a political or tactical voting. I want to see those songs which I like but might have less chance of qualifying in the final, that's all.

and generally I'd like to see these through:

Swiss
Slovenia
Moldova
Croatia
Norway
Latvia

These are the best songs for me. Some of the performances were weaker and some stronger.
Don't care who else does.

voted for the Estonian Swiss here :gigi: Oh and Moldova, they had fun on stage. And Denmark, i like that song, but havent voted LOL... OK, GOOOOOO SWITZERLAND, MOLDOVA, ROMANIA, DENMARK!!! :done:

Well, voted for Switzerland (of course ;) ), Moldova, Denmark and also Romania (specially for you, Killa)

Hungary through
Romania through ( Moldova will miss out, I reckon )
Norway
MOLDOVA is through!
Israel
Denmark made it, haha
fyr Macedonia, wtf
Croatia
Switzerland through as expected

and the last one is:

Latvia

Netherlands and Poland are out , forre ;)
Slovenia also out and the English chap is wondering why the Irish has not gone through :bum:

WOOO, thanks, P.!!! :coctail:

OMG OMG OMG OMG ROMANIA AND NORWAY ARE INNNNNNN!!!!!!

Forgot to say I like Norway too... OMG AND MOLDOVA IS IN TOO!!!!!!

Bunica bate toba, bunica bate tare, bunica bate toba cu maciuca-n casa mare!!!!!
WOOOOO DEEEEENNNNNMMMMMAARK IS IN TOO!!!!!!

Switzerland will go in for sure, I dont even want to think that they won't, so WHHEEE!!!
:done:

Ok, I got 50% right. Not bad, forre.

Macedonia was just crappy man. Slovenia should be in their place.

Hungary
Romania
Norway
Moldova
Israel
Denmark
Macedonia
Croatia
Switzerland
Latvia

I'm very happy with the result. Most of all, I'm happy that Iceland didn't quialify as deep inside myself I never believed in it and I never could get why it was among the favourites.

Romania! :done:
Norway! :done:
Switzerland! :done:
Latvia! :done:

SUPER! :10x:

Romania's song was similar to Iceland's, Lithuania's and the like just performed a lot better, that's all. My only issues are only with 'Macedonia' and partly with Denmark.

I don't understand why you all think Denmark is good. Really wierd stuff.

Anyway, Switzerland for the win!

Yeah, i was confused extremely by Macedonia and Denmark...

well... the whole thing is just one big circus (what else is new?) :rolleyes:
anyways, i'm totally dissapointed poland didn't get in... :( only song/performance that got my attention... very amusing... ;)
